Thermomix Creamy Salami Pasta

Shall I tell you a secret? When I first got the Thermomix, I was a bit afraid to use it and would only use it if David was in the house. We were laughing about it the other day, and at how times have changed! These days, I can’t stop using it!

The funny thing is, we don’t cook a lot of main meals in the Thermomix, or not nearly as many as we should. This dish is our tweak on on a golden oldie from the Basic Cookbook and it has stood the test of time – it’s still one of our all time favourites. Sometimes ugly food is the tastiest and this is definitely one of those times! This pasta dish is quick, easy and we can grab all the ingredients and go. We eat gluten free pasta, which doesn’t fare so well in the Thermie, so we cook it separately on the stove and add it later. This is one dinner that won’t disappoint!

Do you have a delicious dinner recipe that’s on high roatation? Have you ever been afraid to use a domestic appliance?!
